I’m an exmo. Gender and sex is doctrinally binary, I always wondered how intersex children would be treated. Thanks for sharing. There were lots of things that made me leave, but I always disagreed with the church’s stance on LGBTQI+ issues.

Use it for tasks you tend to put off and don’t use it for tasks you tend to hyperfocus.

Right now I mostly use it for boring time-consuming chores, otherwise I don’t bother.

I will hyperfocus when I am coding at work, so I never use it then

What are you going to do with the other 900mb?

VPNs are super common for business reasons. A lot of business travelers are going to use a VPN to access files and services only available on their network.

Using a big VPN might be risky; a self-hosted VPN should be less risky. I’d avoid torrenting though, even legal torrents.

Can you ask your IT department their recommendations?

Damn. Good point.

My favorite project was C++; it was big, it was complicated, there was a massive team working on it, I got to work with high level abstractions while occasionally dealing with really low level concerns.

It was really hard, but now writing code in every other language I’ve worked in has been really easy.

The Word of Wisdom, which outlines the health guidelines of not drinking alcohol and using tobacco, as well as eating less meat, eating more grains; was originally just as the name suggests, words of wisdom.

Joseph Smith drank wine, used tobacco, and drank coffee up to his death.

It wasn’t until the early 20th century when it started to be treated as a commandment. This is around the time when they started codifying a lot of doctrine, stopped practicing polygamy, and started to function more like a mainstream religion and less like a cult.

When does something become mainstream? The Steam Deck has sold millions of units.

But guys, if we use agile then we don’t need requirements! We just make something and then the customers tell us if we are on the right track, we just get to iTeRaTe

Wow, I didn’t expect an expert to chime in.

The plural of moose is meese.

Here’s a TLDR of your text:

• ADHD brains are well-suited to tech jobs. They thrive on the variety and urgency of IT work.
• Success requires balance. You can’t rely on high-stress situations to focus long-term.
• Your experience is your asset. Learn to translate your instincts into process improvements others can understand.
• You’ll need new skills. Develop time management and task completion skills to progress.
• Other ADHD-friendly careers exist. Consider EMTs, kitchen staff, or machine operators where focus and pattern recognition are key.

Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you’ve done some good work you can start relying more on word of mouth and charge more.

I would recommend doing some small jobs on Fiverr or Upwork. Contracting isn’t for everyone, nor is running a small business. Fiverr and Upwork will be pretty disconnected from your local contacts so if you mess up or decide it’s not for you then it’s easier to leave.

Ultimately it’s networking, instead of rolling your eyes when an acquaintance has an app idea you can offer to help.
